Erika Meza

Biography

Erika Meza creates utopias and detailed dreams strongly influenced by her enthusiasm for color, her fascination for animation, and the nostalgia of children’s books. Her themes are born out of the exploration of her migrant essence, her bittersweet relationship with change, and her attachment to innocence and curiosity. After living in Paris for four years, she is now in the U.K. having fun as a drawing lecturer at NTU in decorative arts. Learn more about Erika at ErikaMeza.com or on Twitter at @ErikaDraws.
